I do not know how GOG works, but will they ever realese Pharaoh?

It is the same as Caesar III (for does who do not know)but mutch more better in my opinion, and some what easier to, you do not need to worry about getting bankrupt like in Caesar becuse here you can mine gold, and the nature is more alive. And you can build large monuments that takes for ever to build.

We can't know for sure when, if ever they get the game.
I wouldn't get my hopes up, though; it seems we're not seeing any more Activision titles anytime soon.
However, you may be sure we'd appreciate Pharaoh as well; counting you, we're at least 4 people who actively expect that game.

Just found this magical place! I was really hoping to find Pharaoh/Cleopatra here as well as Caesar 3, so I would certainly buy a copy should it ever appear here.

Okay thanks for the answer honfitárs! =)
I'd really like Pharaoh to be added too. I bought a physical copy some years ago but have long since lost it. I haven't played Caesar III yet but I've just bought it off GOG and will be playing it soon, so then I can compare it to Pharaoh. I love the Ancient Romans - I even went to Rome and walked around the parts that remain from that time - but there's something about Ancient Egypt that just seems more interesting and mysterious. Not to mention, I have heard quite a few people say Pharaoh is better than Caesar, not just the creator of this thread.
Pharoh appears to be the most beloved game of the series, considering the threads on gog forums. Zeus and Caesar come after.

However, I am surprised that no one desires or even talks about Emperor (Rise of the middle kingdom : the last episode, in ancient China). It is always the same mechanisms but improved as devs added some features whose previous games lack.

Actually, I haven't played it yet. Other than the obvious things like setting and unit names, how does it differ from Pharaoh and Caesar?

It was mentioned when Activision came on board and gave us Caesar 3.
I, for one, would like to see all city builder games here.

Firstly it is graphically overhauled. Still in 2D and it is very nice.
Secondly, the set is Middle-Age China

There are also new features or enhanced features. I cannot remember of all of them but for instance you can allow certain persons through gates and not others.
I also looked at savegames from other players and you can really build a city that looks like a real city (or how it may have looked like)
It's been years since I played it, and I never tried the option myself, but IIRC Emperor also offered multi-player gameplay.
I would seriously love Pharaoh and Cleopatra on GOG too.
I have them laying around in physical copies, but it just keeps freezing suddenly on Win 7 64 bit.
Never had problems on vista though :(

Also, Emperor was awesome too, never tried the multiplayer though.

Did not even know that game existed, lookt it upp on google, and it looks intresting and good grafics, and the buldnings looks some what bigger then i Caeser and Pharaoh.

Hope GOG will come out whit more city builder games!
Pharao, Zeus (Acropolis being the game + expansion), Emperor, and Caesar IV all seem like good games to add to GOG (especially the first two).

Emperor was amazing, it has kept me entertained for a good amount of weeks.
